Map of USGS gauge 06164000 and the river around it
Where Frenchman River at international boundary sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Delaware DNREC publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Delaware rule, with Delaware DNREC's own figure added: 68°F and 75°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Delaware DNREC, Division of Fish and Wildlife: Delaware freshwater trout fishing · Delaware fishing licensing and regulations.
